XC done right

What a joy it is to hit a well designed trail. That's what this day was about. After some recent disappointments, hitting well thought out lines is a refreshing joy. Berms, switchbacks, drops, jumps that made us smile, yay for that!

This place is just outside a larger city, and the lines here are older than Yoda, but that has its drawbacks as well tho', alot has happened since the dawn of times, and there has been a lot of recent effort put into raising the overall quality in this place. Effort well spent.

Our trail guide this day was Thomas. A trail builder/designer and a long term advocate for better trails, and a higher quality of trails. Now that's something I can attest to! : )

Hitting one of the drops. Chicken lines are available. Human build features where plentiful.

Kresser hitting a double. This stuff was however on the un-official side of things.

Henning inspecting a stepdown, he refrained from hitting it last time, so there was some tension around him this very moment. Everybody knows a good mind-fuck.

Hitting it - and earning his balls this day : )
